Daniel 12
Nova Versão Transformadora
O tempo do fim
12 “Nessa época, Miguel, o grande príncipe que guarda seu povo, se levantará. Haverá um tempo de angústia como nunca houve desde que as nações vieram a existir. Nesse tempo, porém, todos de seu povo que tiverem o nome escrito no livro serão salvos. 2 Muitos dos que estão mortos e enterrados[a] ressuscitarão, alguns para a vida eterna e outros para a vergonha e a desonra eterna. 3 Os sábios brilharão intensamente como o esplendor do céu, e os que conduzem muitos à justiça resplandecerão como estrelas, para sempre. 4 Mas você, Daniel, mantenha esta profecia em segredo; sele o livro até o tempo do fim, quando muitos correrão de um lado para o outro e o conhecimento aumentará”.
5 Então eu, Daniel, olhei e vi dois outros em pé em margens opostas do rio. 6 Um deles perguntou ao homem vestido de linho, que agora estava sobre o rio: “Quanto tempo passará até que terminem esses acontecimentos espantosos?”.
7 O homem vestido de linho, que estava sobre o rio, levantou as duas mãos em direção ao céu, pronunciou um juramento solene àquele que vive para sempre e disse: “Passará um tempo, tempos e meio tempo. Quando o povo santo finalmente for quebrado, todas essas coisas se cumprirão”.
8 Ouvi o que ele disse, mas não entendi o significado. Por isso, perguntei: “Meu senhor, como estas coisas terminarão?”.
9 Ele respondeu: “Agora vá, Daniel, pois aquilo que eu disse será mantido em segredo e selado até o tempo do fim. 10 Muitos serão purificados, limpos e refinados por essas provações. Os perversos, porém, continuarão em sua perversidade, e nenhum deles entenderá. Somente os sábios compreenderão seu significado.
11 “A partir do momento em que o sacrifício diário for suspenso e a terrível profanação[b] for colocada ali, haverá 1.290 dias. 12 Feliz aquele que esperar e permanecer até o fim dos 1.335 dias!
13 “Quanto a você, siga seu caminho até o fim. Você descansará e, no final dos dias, se levantará para receber sua herança”.

The Time of the End
12 “Daniel, at that time Michael, the great prince, will stand up. (He is the one who protects your people.) There will be a time of much trouble. It will be the worst time since nations have been on earth. But your people will be saved. Everyone whose name is written in God’s book will be saved. 2 Many people who have already died will live again. Some of them will wake up to have life forever. But some will wake up to find shame and disgrace forever. 3 The wise people will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, close up the book and seal it. These things will happen at the time of the end. Many people will go here and there to find true knowledge.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and I saw two other men. One was standing on my side of the river. And the other was standing on the far side. 6 The man who was dressed in linen was standing over the water in the river. One of the two men spoke to him. He asked, “How long will it be before these amazing things come true?”
7 The man dressed in linen who stood over the water raised his hands toward heaven. And I heard him make a promise. He used the name of God who lives forever. He said, “It will be for three and one-half years. The power of the holy people will finally be broken. Then all these things will come true.”
8 I heard the answer, but I did not really understand. So I asked, “Master, what will happen after all these things come true?”
9 He answered, “Go your way, Daniel. The message is closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many people will be made clean, pure and spotless. But the wicked will continue to be wicked. And those wicked people will not understand these things. But the wise people will understand them.
11 “The daily sacrifice will be stopped. There will be 1,290 days from that time. Then the horrible thing that destroys will be set up. 12 Those who wait for the end of the 1,335 days will be happy.
13 “As for you, Daniel, go your way till the end. You will get your rest when you die. And at the end you will rise from the dead to get your reward.”
Daniel 12
New English Translation
12 “At that time Michael,
the great prince who watches over your people,[a]
will arise.[b]
There will be a time of distress
unlike any other from the nation’s beginning[c]
up to that time.
But at that time your own people,
all those whose names are[d] found written in the book,
will escape.
2 Many of those who sleep
in the dusty ground will awake—
some to everlasting life,
and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence.[e]
3 But the wise will shine
like the brightness of the heavenly expanse.
And those bringing many to righteousness
will be like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, close up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will dash about,[f] and knowledge will increase.”
5 I, Daniel, watched as two others stood there, one on each side of the river.[g] 6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?” 7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky[h] and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters[i] the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “Sir,[j] what will happen after these things?” 9 He said, “Go, Daniel. For these matters are closed and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made clean, and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, though the wise will understand. 11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set in place,[k] there are 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits and attains to the 1,335 days. 13 But you should go your way[l] until the end.[m] You will rest and then at the end of the days you will arise to receive[n] what you have been allotted.”[o]
